E055 Lerato Molebatsi - #Wisdom Personified- Conversations with Dudu Msomi

Loading player...
Jim Rohn says, “The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be
kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be
humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without
folly.”
There are very few individuals that I have observed that carry these
contradictions with Grace and Wisdom. Lerato Molebatsi is a person that
epitomises that power doesn’t have to be loud and showy. Her character, her
mind and heart are what keep you in her life in the long-term.
Lerato is a former Managing Director of General Electric (#GE) South Africa.
She has over 25 years of experience in diverse sectors such as Financial
Services, Mining, Government, Non-profit and Professional Services. She
has several non-executive #board roles including on the South African
Reserve Bank (#SARB), as a Lead Independent Director and Chair of
NEDCOM and a non- executive on Adrian Group #Kenya, an engineering
company providing #technology and infrastructure solutions.

This conversation is timely for April which is Freedom Month in #SouthAfrica
because we commemorate our liberation on the 27 th of April. Lerato believes
that you got to stand for something. To live by your convictions. She says,
“Every single one of us. Can make a difference. And we should.”

What are you recommitting to do for your yourself and your country this day
to ensure that Freedom is experienced and lived by everyone.
